Title: Integrating Resilience and Sustainability Paradigms in Vaccine Supply Chain Management: A Multi-Objective Simulation/Optimization Approach Authors: Gomes, Luís Pedro; Ferreira, Paulo; Almeida, Dora Editors: Galdames, I.S.; Vázquez-Justo, E.; Abreu, A.; Carvalho, J.V. Abstract: Vaccination is crucial for human health, and the success of vaccination programs depends not only on the vaccines themselves but also on the strength of the supporting supply chain and logistical systems. The World Health Organization emphasizes the importance of sustainability and resilience in vaccine supply chains, as outlined in the Immunization Agenda 2030. This paper aims to illustrate how multi-objective simulation/optimization can assist decision-makers in integrating sustainability and resilience concepts in vaccine supply chain management, based on the Paradox Theory. The technique was applied to the operational management of a vaccination point in the Central Alentejo region, resulting in nine non- dominated solutions. This approach enables decision-makers to make data-based decisions and gain insights into the potential outcomes before finalizing their choices. Our find ings demonstrate that multi-objective simulation/optimization provides valuable insights, allowing decision-makers to consider a more comprehensive “both-and” approach instead of singular choices.

Title: Back to Basics: How Technology May Relink Food Producers and Consumers - A Portuguese Outlook Authors: Xara-Brasil, Duarte; Silveira, Paulo Duarte; Vacas-de-Carvalho, Leonor Abstract: This paper explores the transformative role of technology in re-establishing connections between food producers and consumers, examining the current situation in Portugal. Using secondary data and desk research, the present study highlights that technology can bridge the gap by enhancing transparency, promoting local economies, and encouraging sustainable practices. By analyzing this landscape of food production, food retailing, consumption patterns, and technological advancements, the study highlights how digital tools can enhance transparency, foster local economies, and promote sustainable practices.

Title: National Policies and Territorial Cohesion Authors: Neto, Paulo; Fermisson, João; Duarte, Nuno; Rodrigues, António Editors: Medeiros, Eduardo Abstract: Since March 2020, the European Union has launched a wide range of initiatives to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, mainly through two complementary channels “through creating a new set of initiatives aimed specifically at resolving and or mitigating the effects of the pandemic in terms of public health, but also the resulting economic and social effects [and] by mobilizing a set of policies and public policy instruments to combat the effects of the pandemic, with the purpose of allo- cating resources to the new needs of the European economy and society” (Neto in Europa XXI J Regional Sci Territorial Policies 38:33–50, 2020). The main objectives of this chapter are: (i) to analyse the extent to which the new European rationale of policies to respond to the economic and social impacts of the pandemic, and in partic- ular the European Recovery and Resilience Facility, enabled the emergence of a new generation of strategies and national public policies, which, within the framework of the great principles of the European Union that guide recovery, seek to provide specific answers to the way in which each member state was affected by the pandemic and how it conceives its recovery process; (ii) Carry out a comparative analysis of the intervention rationales of the Recovery and Resilience Plans (RRP) of a set of Member States; (iii) Evaluate how each of these RRPs establishes and/or foresees, or not, some model of articulation with the respective Partnership Agreements 2014– 2020 and 2021–2027 of the Cohesion Policy; (iv) Analyse to what extent each RRP assumes or determines, or not, a territorialisation of its intervention.
